Wikipedia
After travelling from Kiev to meet with her deposed son, Nicholas II in Mogilev, Maria returned to the city.
She was persuaded by her family there to travel by train to the Crimea with a group of other refugee Romanovs.
After a time living in one of the imperial residences in the Crimea, she received reports that her sons, her daughter-in-law and her grandchildren had been murdered.
On the day after the murder of the Tsar's family, Maria received a messenger from Nicky, " a touching man " who told how difficult was the life of her son's family in Ekaterinburg.
" In her diary she comforted herself: " I am sure they all got out of Russia and now the Bolsheviks are trying to hide the truth.
Her letters to her son and his family have since almost all been lost ; but in one that survives, she wrote to Nicholas: " You know that my thoughts and prayers never leave you.
I think of you day and night and sometimes feel so sick at heart that I believe I cannot bear it any longer.
" Maria's daughter Olga Alexandrovna commented further on the matter, " Yet I am sure that deep in her heart my mother had steeled herself to accept the truth some years before her death.
